At Flowers Cambridge Heath, we are deeply committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships. Modern slavery, including forced labour, servitude, and human trafficking, has no place in our company or supply chains. As a trusted florist serving the Cambridge Heath community, we recognise our responsibility to uphold the highest standards for our customers, staff, and the wider community.
We operate strictly under a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery and human trafficking. This principle underpins every aspect of our business operations. We expect all our staff, partners, and suppliers to embrace the same commitment, ensuring that everyone who works for or with Flowers Cambridge Heath does so voluntarily, in safe conditions, and is treated with dignity and respect.
Our supply chain is a crucial focus for our efforts to prevent modern slavery. We conduct thorough due diligence before entering into agreements with new suppliers and review existing suppliers on a regular basis. This process includes assessing suppliers’ compliance with labour laws, requiring clear statements about workforce practices, and, where appropriate, requesting details of their own modern slavery policies.
Flowers Cambridge Heath actively sources from trusted suppliers who demonstrate a transparent commitment to ethical working standards and responsible sourcing. We reserve the right to immediately terminate relationships with any supplier found to be in breach of anti-slavery legislation or our own standards.
Training our staff is fundamental to ensuring our values are upheld. All team members, from shop assistants to management, receive information and guidance to help them recognise signs of modern slavery and understand how to respond appropriately. This training is reviewed and refreshed regularly to reflect changes in legislation and best practice, equipping our team to uphold ethical working practices both in-store and across our supply chain.
We are committed to maintaining a safe environment for reporting concerns, whether from employees, suppliers, or the local community. All concerns regarding potential instances of modern slavery or unethical behaviour can be raised through established, confidential internal channels.
Reports are taken seriously and will be investigated swiftly and thoroughly. We ensure there are no reprisals for those who raise genuine concerns in good faith. We believe fostering an open culture is essential to preventing human rights abuses within our business and supply chain.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually and updated as necessary to reflect changes to laws, industry guidance, and our own evolving practices. Through regular audits and feedback, we strive for continual improvement in our approach to tackling the risks of modern slavery and fulfilling our social responsibilities.
As an integral part of the Cambridge Heath community, we recognise that our approach to modern slavery is not only a legal obligation but also a reflection of our role as a trusted local florist. Flowers Cambridge Heath is committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and ensuring the wellbeing of everyone associated with our business, from suppliers to staff to our valued customers.
